Actually, it's "Luise Rainer." And I bet Billy Wilder pronounced it
right.

Has anyone here seen the last (?) interview with Wilder?
He seemed like an erlkonig who after dealing with M. Monroe, could

I've just been reading On Suset Boulevard: The Life and Times of Billy
Wilder and all I have to say is that guy was devastatingly funny.
Haven't gotten to the Monroe material yet. All I was going to read was
the material about his pre-US days, Double indemnity stuff and the
info on Sunset Blvd and Ace In The Hole. He's such a hoot I decided to
read the whole book.

I'm in a rush as well, but one name that stands out is Evelyn Keyes,
who died in July 2008.
